Kneadable Art Eraser - Grey - #FC127220
Pitt Artist Pen® Brush - #264 Dark Phthalo Green - #FC167478
Watercolor paper (trimmed to 6 x 4½ inches)
White cardstock
Small round paint brush ( I used 000)
Scissors
Adhesive
Color the textured side of the water color paper with various shades of green watercolors.
The color coverage doesn’t need to be solid.
Draw a four-leaf clover (about 3 x 4 inches) on white cardstock and cut out with fine tipped scissors.
Lay the cut-out clover at about the center of the colored paper and paint a dotted outline around it using the metallic 353 watercolor.
Fill out the entire space around the clover with metallic dots.
If the clover seems to get lost in the subtle metallic shin, add some more green to it.
Color two small strips of cardstock with the Metallic 353 Pan Watercolor.
When dry, use your Pitt Artist Pen Dark Phthalo Green 264** in Brush (B) tip to write ‘Good Luck’.
Attach the strips to the center of the clover to finish.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who celebrate!
